Pricing for the 2014 BMW X5 has been revealed with pricing for the rear-drive X5 sDrive35i set at $53,725, while the top-of-the-line X5 xDrive50i starts at $69,125. All prices include a $925 destination charge. BMW hasn’t revealed pricing for the 2014 X5 M model.

Starting at $53,725, the 2014 BMW X5 sDrive35i is the first (and only) rear-drive X5 model ever offered and is new for the third-generation SUV. The all-wheel-drive 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35i is priced from $56,025. Both 35i models are powered by BMW‘s N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6 with 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque — the same ratings as in the second-generation model.

The diesel-powered, all-wheel-drive 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35d starts at $57,525. Under the hood sits the same twin-turbo 3.0-liter I-6 diesel engine as the refreshed BMW 535d that produces 255 hp and 413 lb-ft. The range-topping (non M) all-wheel-drive 2014 BMW X5 xDrive50i is priced at $69,125 and is powered by BMW’s twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8. Power for the X5 xDrive50i is rated at 445 hp and 480 lb-ft , representing an increase of 45 hp and 30 lb-ft over the outgoing model.

All 2014 BMW X5 models are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while an optional eight-speed sport automatic with launch control is available. Standard equipment on all X5 models include an start-stop system, iDrive 4.2 interface with touchpad, 10 years of BMW Assist eCall service, 20 years of BMW TeleService, BMW Apps, 40-20-40 split-folding rear seat, and Servotronic speed-sensitive power steering. Dakota leather is standard on eight-cylinder models and available on six-cylinder models. Poplar wood trim is standard on the X5.

The 2014 X5 can be had in the Luxury Line, xLine, or M Sport configurations as well as with Ivory White or Mocha Interior Design Packages, which include Nappa leather. As with all BMW models, several option packages are available including Dynamic Performance Control as part of the optional Dynamic Handling Package for all-wheel-drive models. The Dynamic Handling Package includes Active Roll Stabilization, Dynamic Damper Control, and rear air suspension with sporty suspension tuning.

A new Active Driving Assistant safety package includes Lane Departure Warning and a pedestrian and collision warning system with braking function that works at speeds up to 37 mph. The ACC Stop and Go takes over in slow-moving and stop-and-go traffic and maintains a safe following distance up to 130 mph, while an ACC Stop and Go + Active Driving Assistant can slow or stop the vehicle if the driver fails to stop the vehicle in time. The Traffic Jam Assistant keeps the X5 centered in its lane at speeds up to 25 mph.

The gas-powered 2014 X5 models will go on sale in the fourth quarter of 2013, while the diesel-powered X5 will arrive in early 2014.
